The word: „Cyberspace“ is known now as an artword, its born from the word „Cyber“ (a shortform from the english word „Cybernetic“ that again comes from the greek word „Kybernetike“; „The art of navigate“ and the word „Space“.

On the worldfamous Macy-Conferences in the years 1946 till 1953 Cybernetik was something of high interest. Wellknown and famous scientists as Alan Turing, John von Neumann and Heinz von Foerster started here from scratch the modern computertechnics and the programm-architecture, today the basics for the Cyberspace. The real Cyberspace was opened by Secondlife. So you speak of web 3-D or so called Metaverses. The Metaverses are Internet-based virtual time-space-infrastructures. The miracle that we are experiencing today: the Cyberspace, the dematerialized virtual time-space, the worldwide webbed society. where we „surf around„ with lightspeed. An artist that is NOT using this virtual universe as a challenge and a goal doesnt deserve the name „Avantgarde“

This e-book dedicated to the pioneer of the Cybernetic Art

Nicolas Schöffer.

He was one of the most important artists of the second half of twentieth century. Father of Cybernetic Art, thus of so-called „interactivity“, he wanted to bring a prospective and non-backward-looking vision of Art, which could help mankind to develop itself with a good hold on true creative and liberating possibilities of our times.

6 carp 2 CARP 1 First I would like to thank you all so very much for the work you did and the way you all participated in CARP 1.

We have worked out many ideas and learned a lot from each other. In CARP 1 our goal was to research SL scripts and the visual effects here and try them out in practice.

the carp 2 idea tree Diabolus Virtual Art Space: The Cybernetic Art Research Project 2. (CARP 2) The aiming of the Project is: To announce the SL audiovisual possibilities.

Progam starting at 2007-12-01 ending at 2008-01-14 In the CARP 2 new focus, I would like to do some suggestions: (of course all suggestions are welcome) 1.- The possibility to experiment with the sculpted prim technique (we have tried some already) Try out the freeware Wings 3D program with sculpted bitmap export, handbook and tutorial.

2.- We will not build special rooms or places for the exhibition because the goal will be to make and build in such a way, that it will be interesting for avatars to walk through. These exponats will be placed around the pillar tree in the middle and when they are ready we place them in a logic way and connect them with each other.

We just have to mark where we can build so that we don’t start building on neighbours land.

3.- Experiment with time and experience (like a story) with the knowledge that when something looks “simple” the bio-avatar is less interested and won’t stay long (is this true) Experiment with effects that have a longer experience or story for avatars to undergo.

Phase 1: Creation 1.a. Every participant will select the for him or her interesting SL Audiovisual components.

Add Up of CARP 2

in a consequent way.

First I would like to thank everybody that participated and worked so hard on the CARP 2 project.

We worked out many new techniques and developed a total new Audio Visual Art form.

-The big spectacle stage in CARP 2 was intentional for the building up of a story. Many of us; Debbie , Josina, Noizz and me contributed a lot in the 2 live concerts of nnoiz as a 2 hour long Audiovisual Liturgy Orgy that were a great success.

The Sculpti Goal: Biggest success in the CARP 2 project. In fact we used the sculpted components in all the products. A series of (150) own made sculpted bitmaps were used to build free and spectacular effects. Many of us have learned to use this- not easy- technology and used its components in real professional sculptures and pieces of Art. The most spectacular variant was the use of huge prims. But we also experimented with movement control and reaction forms on these sculpted components.

The Architecture Goal: Build from the CARP elements in a special way, this means: not the architecture decides what and how the building will look like but the exponents decide how the architecture components will work out together. Art piece and architecture together decide the looks and the effects.

So a Synthesis where architecture and Art build together a integrated unit.

Visual spectacle and functional building elements are both united in Art-Architecture.

When being honest we must admit that this way of Art-Architecture synthesis already was reached in a great way by Antonio Gaudi.

Story Goal: We did build several interesting stories.

A special thank you to Juria Yoshikawa for a great spontaneous idea for Carp 3. New horizons to open: A method of collaborative Spontanety. On the spot creativity ( Collaborative Audiovisual Improvisation or: Virtual Jazz) we named it.

Where different artists give different components to modify a piece of Art TOGETHER as a creative collaborative spectacle, as a story. This method has a great attraction and unexpected outcome. In Jazz music this method works already for ages, now we will use this in the visual Art also

Special thanks to Debbie Trilling for helping with building up a professional virtual”DANCE PARTNER” and the many beautiful particle effects. Her Particle Garden fascinated many visitors.

Thaks to Josina for the many different dance partners and the spectacular particle effects and of course thanks to nnoiz, his live concerts are really fantastic. We tried out a new technique: The Shared Live Concert Streaming. The benefit is here that not to many avatars have to concentrate on one particular spot. With a great number of avatars on the same spot the simulators will produce lag and the fun and joy factor will decrease.

-A very impressive venture was Josina’s Ghost Cave. From a technical view a highlight of the CARP 2 project. She united many SL audiovisual components in just one scenario ( story, mood elements, sculpti, bitmaps, Sound, particle effects, collaborative creation etc)

carp 2 RL Name: László Ördögh Diabolus What motivates a designer, human engineer and virtual reality software developer to go to Second Life and getting involved in this incredible world? Playfulness, the happy Homo Ludens? Maybe that too. But I have much more serious motivations: 1: - What I enjoy in SL is the pioneer spirit that rules in this world. In my daily real life working with industrial virtual reality I am also pioneering. But in RL you cannot make everything what you could imagine in your fantasy. There the discussion goes about much money, resources, management, hierarchy, organisation, economical efficiency and so on, not really about things that really matter. SL is a dematerialised world with a high degree of abstraction to realize all possible and impossible associations . It’s the perfect playground, for thinking „Bioavatars“, to experiment with substantial subjects without the material consequences.

2: - I started in SL with the idea to build a Avatar Museum there, had to be there because SL is the Future and its useless to stay in the past being busy with that.

3: - The most valuable what I got from SL are the good friends I have there: Josina the best Muse ever and the most reliable Partner in all the adventures, Caravaggio, Jan, Juria, Noizz, Terri, Whyzzer, Manax and all the others in my friends list.

4: - An Avatar in SL is the real metacommunication. Behind every avatar there is people and the avatars are very able to present or show their mentality and norms.

5: - SL is a concept for creative competence, the ideal platform to research and experiment art of the future.

6: - SL is also in the Social Surroundings with simple rules and a Global Community without any borders. Maybe an example for our RL community.

carp 2 Name: José den Burger. SL name: Josina Burgess José studied at the Famous Artists Schools of America and graduated in illustration, advertisement,free painting and drawing. She studied under Ben Stahl, Al Parker, Jon Witcomb, Fred Ludekens, Peter Helck, got her papers in 1967 and then decided to become a ...........singer!

As a singer she worked successfully in the Netherlands especially in the 70ties (was the first female protestsinger) . She made several albums , was a member of the Knokke Songfestival Team and had her own radio and personality show on the Dutch Television. She worked with the well known Ted de Braak in all Dutch Theaters and was a guest in many radio and television shows. She traveled around the world and performed in the Intercontinental Hotels,Theatershows, on Cruiseships and in many International Television Shows. In Spain she was appearing for 4 years on Spanish television and in the years after that she became the leading lady of the well known close-harmony trio „The New Shepherds“ and after that of „Close Encounter“ and was leader of her own 7 mans band „September“.

Made several albums again and performed on Dutch radio and television. During all these years of traveling she continued painting and drawing and was inspired by the countries she visited. The work has many facets, just like a human has many sides in his or her personality. Feelings and impressions, sometimes subtile, but also powerful and above all the use of bright colors are specific for her Art. Non-figurative, abstract as well as figurative paintings, explosions of color, gold and bronze, memories and feelings are telling their story.

In the end of 2006 I started Secondlife, after seeing something about it on the Dutch television. I was really interested to find out what happened there with Art. I Found that many galleries interested to exhibit my Art and started from there. But just showing images of my real life paintings was not enough and I started to search for new challenges. So I went into to making dresses using the images of my real paintings as textures on them and called them “Wearable Art”. It was an immediately success and after I met Velazques Bonetto I started to experiment more with different textures I made from images of projects in SL as well as images or designs I made specially for the dresses or other projects. From Velazques I learned how to use scripts and started to animate the dresses as well. Going from there I went into building sculptures and installations using scripts in an ”Innocent” way and some times the effects were amazing. It has my total interest now and I love the new challenges and possibilities to create a total NEW ART that never existed before elsewhere. www.josina.eu

carp 2 The Ghost Cave I had the idea to build a cave with ghosts inside. Velazques and me used sculpted prims we made in the Wings program to make the cave look “sl-natural” . For the textures I used blue light and inside every prim I put a blue light script to give it a more sinister look. From 5 prims I made a “ghost”, in photo shop I designed the faces and made them very transparent and the robes flexi. Velazques created a script that let the ghost react on every avatar, following it and wrapping around you. I also added some particle scripts inside the ghost that made them look like floating in transparent, misty clouds. A terrible “humming” sound that gives you the shivers completed it. In the cave I placed some particles I learned to made giving transparent mists of green, black and white light. Some ghost lights were also floating around in the cave. The whole experience was really nice and inside the “ghosts” nice transparent colours and images shown and made every ghost a piece of art again.. Asll the total cave looked great and very “SL”

carp 2 PARTICLES Make particles was something I really wanted to do for a long time but it seemed rather difficult in the beginning.

From a base script I started from scratch , changing it and learning from the mistakes I made. When I knew how to make the script I really started and made a bunch of particles, from small stars till big bursts of colours, programmed them and placed them in boxes. To get an extra interesting “firework� I linked several boxes together so a beautiful effect was created.

On big spheres I linked several cubes with different particle effects. Programmed them in such a way that colours were supporting each other as well as the forms.

Then I let the spheres rotate or move slowly. Placed them in a special room and when using midnight light the effect of the moving and sparkling was enormous.

carp 2 COLOUR WAVE (Flower power) Velazques gave me a “emitter” script and I started to play with that. With this script you are able to use several textures and that was very interesting.” I got the idea to make a “colour wave” like standing in a sea of colours that go in waves over and towards you. In Photoshop I designed many different textures special for the emitter.

Made bitmaps in alpha channel from them and placed them with the script in a cube. Using 3 cubes with different textures and scripts above each other the “waves” of colour let you as a viewer get like drowned in colour waves. Using music going with the waves made the experience overwhelming and joyful.

This “dancer” was made from sculpted prims and equipped with a script that when you clicked on the dancer it follows you and dances with you. Giving the command: / 1999random the dancer started to give off many particles in different colours. Everybody started dancing around on the music and the “dancers” worked well giving everybody a great time.

juria yoshikawa

After two decades of creative pursuits - ranging from conceptual art, installation, poetry, performance, computer art, animation, photography and digital design - Juria Yoshikawa (a.k.a. Lance Shields, Tokyo-based new media artist and designer) arrived in Second Life in the winter of 2007 looking for a new artistic spark. Rather than bringing in rl artwork, Juria is compelled to use mainly the elements that make up sl itself. A typical Juria Yoshikawa virtual artwork mixes kinetic objects, light sources, animated texture, ambient noise and av animations. She inevitably chooses scales larger than conventional gallery work because she is interested in people experiencing the work in a physical way - flying through them, riding on them and socializing within the art. To Juria virtual art is about freeing oneself up to create in ways she finds impossible in real life.

In my real life, I am Lance Shields, a new media artist, creative director, interactive designer and social media specialist. Graduating with a BFA in new media from San Francisco Art Institute in 1992, sculpture and installation are where I started my rl creative career but I became progressively more involved in the digital and interactive. I see Second Life as a return back to my artistic roots yet at the same time combines my newer interests in the phenomenology in the virtual world. Phenomenology is defined as “the reflective study of the essence of consciousness as experienced from the first-person point of view�. In my commercial life, I am a social media strategist a global company embrace social networking, blogging and Second Life.

carp 2 Think gigantor jellyfish making love with efflorescent glow offspring and you might come close to “Scribble Ball Sky Collab”. Myself (Juria Yoshikawa) and Yman Juran improvised on this midsky performance at 500m above sl earth. Yman provided a spectacular particle display and I created a series of undulating large prim animated sculpties. Sculptie textures were also provided “on the fly” by Velazquez Bonetto to create some amazing organic chaos. Lots of friends turned out and it is was a surround visual disorienting feast. Bettina Tizzy of NPIRL asked me if we planned on keeping it up for a while but due to the live performance qualities of the improvisation I believe we will have to do a repeat performance instead. Stay tuned!

TheEvil Chemistry: Why do you play sl?

TheEvil Chemistry

MANAX: I get some sort of sick, twisted enjoyment out of using virtual reality to make myself more busy and neglecting to relax more than it would occour in rl.

TheEvil Chemistry: What do you do on sl?

MANAX: I usually get myself into a bunch of messes that I can‘t work my way Who out of, TheEvil Chemistry: arethen you? I get banned a few times, then I build something.

MANAX: I am me.

TheEvil Chemistry: How many times have you been banned? TheEvil Chemistry: Why do you play sl?

MANAX: I get some sort of sick, twisted enjoyment out of

MANAX: Justly, twice. The third time was because I orbited someone who wastotrying griefmore me on my land, because using virtual reality make to myself busy and neglecting to relax more than it would occour in rl. eject wouldn‘t work. Recently, my account broke, and i had to switch over to a fifth one.

TheEvil Chemistry: Are you afraid of being banned?

MANAX: Not as much as I‘d expect myself to be.

TheEvil Chemistry: How many times have you been ban-

TheEvil Chemistry: How do you get your ideas for your buildsned? on sl?

MANAX: I ask native leprechauns their opinions.

TheEvil Chemistry: What is your favorite thing to make in sl?

MANAX: Justly, twice. The third time was because I orbited someone who was trying to grief me on my land, because eject wouldn‘t work. Recently, my account broke, and i had to switch over to a fifth one.

TheEvil Chemistry: Are you afraid of being banned?

MANAX: Weapons and vehicles have usually proven the mostMANAX: entertaining.

Not as much as I‘d expect myself to be.

TheEvil Chemistry: What skills do you have in sl?

TheEvil Chemistry: How do you get your ideas for your builds on sl?

MANAX: I ask native MANAX: Building, mostly. I‘m also a par scripter. I do custom charachters, too,leprechauns obviously. their opinions.

TheEvil Chemistry: What is your favorite thing to make in

TheEvil Chemistry: What are the favorite groups you are in? sl?

MANAX: Weapons and vehicles have usually proven the

most entertaining.

MANAX: Probably the ones I made, lol. The Robot Comedy Nipple., MEVco, and People Against Negative Gormabs

TheEvil Chemistry: Could you explain those groups to me?

TheEvil Chemistry: What are the favorite groups you are in?

MANAX: Probably the ones I made, lol. The Robot Comedy Nipple., MEVco, and People Against Negative Gormabs TheEvil Chemistry: Could you explain those groups to me?

MANAX: Well, MEVco is my buisness. It‘s the group of peope I go to and pay to get things made, that I couldn‘t do, myself. Usually some of the more difficult scripts, and textures for them. TRCN. is a comedy/philosophy group I invented to try and lighten the mood a little, and PANG is most relatable to an antigriefer group, except it‘s an antiasshole group, instead.

TheEvil Chemistry: What are you working on, right now?

MANAX: Like always, about 2857 things. The biggest one, though, is the Deathbot. It will basically be Dopestyle, or Mystitool, ot any other HUD application, but better at everything.

TheEvil Chemistry: How long do you think it will take you to finish it?

MANAX: No more than by the time Havok 27 comes out.

TheEvil Chemistry: Why do you build the strange, dark, and often abstract things you make on sl?

MANAX: Well, a good deal of it is boredom, and the wish to express myself in a conveiniant, yet versitile way, as sl provides, but there is one greater purpose.

TheEvil Chemistry: What is that?

MANAX: Well, the biggest problem I have with the world of today is that no one ever questions anything. They just accept the mainstream, because everyone else does, and go with it. By building the inquisitively designed things I make, I like to make people think, some.

TheEvil Chemistry: What do you do on sl when you don‘t build or script.

MANAX: I race with my own cars.

TheEvil Chemistry: Where do you do that?

MANAX: The first two rules indicate that I‘m not supposed to talk about it.

TheEvil Chemistry: Do you know any good jokes?

MANAX: Yes. TheEvil Chemistry: Why do you wear a staple remover around your neck in real life?

MANAX: It requested to be adorned there.

TheEvil Chemistry: What do you think your entire life will lead up to?

MANAX: Me dying.

debbie trilling Debbie Trilling entered Second life in October 2006, and immediately began creating.

As a Technical Artist she combines the elegance of mathematics with the visual aesthetics of colour, movement and shape to produce work unique to Second Life.

Within the Second Life virtual metaverse Debbie has found the medium of Particles a perfect outlet to bring these visualizations to life, and her particle work has been acclaimed for its sophistication and imagination. ‚The Particle Garden‘, Debbie‘s installation for CARP2, combines traditional SL particle techniques with complex coding algorithms to produce never-before-seen visual effects breathtaking in their beauty.

Debbie also works with a number of Real-World science museums with a Second Life presence, including ‚Exploratorium - The Museum of Science, Art and Human Perception‘ and ‚Sploland - The Museum of Science, Art and Human Imperfection‘. On 30th Jan 2008 she will be creating the particle effects for a meteor collision with Mars scheduled for that date.

Debbie hails from Cambridge, England.

It rains a lot there.
